[Intro]
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
[Verse 1]
People like you always want back
The love they gave away
And people like me wanna believe you
When you say you’ve changed
The more I think about it now
The less I know
All I know is that you drove us
Off the road
[Chorus]
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand, then
Why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it’s just too late, well, could’ve been easy
All you had to do was (Stay)
[Post-Chorus]
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was stay
[Verse 2]
Here you are now, calling me up
But I don’t know what to say
I’ve been pickin’ up the pieces
Of the mess you made
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye
[Chorus]
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand, then
Why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it’s just too late, well, could’ve been easy
All you had to do was (Stay)
[Post-Chorus]
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay)
[Bridge]
Let me remind you
This was what you wanted (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
You ended it
You were all I wanted (Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
But not like this
Not like this, not like this
Oh, all you had to do was
[Chorus]
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand, then
Why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it’s just too late, well, could’ve been easy
All you had to do was
(Stay) Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand, then
Why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?
(Stay) Hey, now you say you want it back
Now that it’s just too late, well, it could’ve been easy (All you had to do was stay)
All you had to do was (Stay)
[Post-Chorus]
All you had to do was (Stay, oh)
All you had to do was (Stay)
All you had to do was (Stay, ooh)
All you had to do was (Stay)
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
„All You Had To Do Was Stay (Taylor’s Version)” to utwór pochodzący z reedycji wydanego pierwotnie 27 października 2014 roku albumu studyjnego Taylor Swift, zatytułowanego „1989”. Nowa wersja wspomnianego albumu, została zatytułowana „1989 (Taylor’s Version)”. Jest to trzeci album wydany w ramach reedycji mających na celu odzyskanie praw autorskich Swift do piosenek z jej pierwszych projektów studyjnych. Wydawnictwo promowały dwa wcześniej udostępnione single – „Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” oraz „This Love (Taylor’s Version)”.
Utwór opowiada o trudnościach związanych z utrzymaniem trwałej relacji. Pomimo wielu starań Swift zauważa, że bez względu na to, co zrobi jej ukochany nie chce dłużej starać się o utrzymanie skazanej na porażkę relacji. Mężczyzna jest niezdecydowany, rozpoczyna związek, który z jego winy ulega szybkiemu rozpadowi.
Taylor stara się uwierzyć w zmianę ukochanego gdy ten stara się odbudować podupadłą relację, ale im więcej o tym myśli, tym bardziej wątpi w cudowną zmianę partnera i szczerość jego uczuć. Jedyną rzeczą, które od związku oczekiwała kobieta była miłość. Kiedy najbardziej potrzebowała ukochanego on postanowił odejść. Po pewnym czasie mężczyzna wraca i prosi o wybaczenie, jednak Taylor nie wierzy w jego słowa i odchodzi.
